Lovely hotel, convenient to train station

I stayed at the Ivy Bush Royal Hotel whilst on a training course with work. Staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Accommodation was clean, comfortable and acceptable. Food was wonderful. Function room for the training course was well laid out, organised and plenty of food for all. I was not able to make dinner one night so staff immediately offered a tray made up for delivery to my room at a later time which I was very grateful for and impressed. Perhaps a general 'freshen up' and new decoration wouldn't go amiss but overall a lovely Welsh welcome and stay.

i have just returned from 5 day on Carmarthen, staying at the Ivy Bush Royal Hotel. This was centrally sutuated and convenient for anyone wanting to do a bit of 'retail therapy'! The hotel was cleam and well furnished. Our room was a good size and had all we could have wanted. Good beds, clean ensuite and a quiet position. The staff were all helpful and cheerful The meals were fairly simple, but there was always a choice and it was well prepared.the hotel had a well stocked bar with ample seating areas, so if you wanted a quite spot it was easy to find one. There was a good supply of books to borrow and also a lot of boxed games. It was nice touch to supply these so that it was possible to spend a few winter houirs indoors if need be. We came by coach so were not using the parking, but there appeared to be ample parking available.

Room Tip: we had room 91 which was on the ground floor overlooking the carpark. we found this very pleasant

We stayed here on January 2nd with a KGB deal - one night's bed and breakfast and an evening meal. We had a room on the ground floor overlooking the car park. Was a little worried about this as thought it could be noisy, but there was no problem. Despite some bad reviews, our room was lovely. It was clean, warm and comfortable. Yes, the television was old, but it worked! And we did not go away to watch television, especially as my sister and husband were in the next room on the same deal and we spent the evening with them. We went across the road to the Spilman hotel - another nice hotel with a good restaurant although we did not eat there this time. Our meal was very tasty and well presented with plenty of choice. The waiter was friendly although totally professional and answered any questions we had about the food. We had coffee and digestif in the lounge which was a very pleasant room. We slept well and went to breakfast expecting a buffet meal. However, because it was fairly quiet in the hotel, the breakfast was prepared freshly to order, which is always nicer than a buffet.All in all, a very pleasant and relaxing night away after a busy Christmas and New Year. Thank you Ivy Bush, and especially our Tunisian waiterOur only complaint - we were all to hot in bed because I think the mattress protectors were maybe plastic and the duvet was a little too heavy.

Our stay was via a KGB deal. 3 Course dinner and breakfast included. It may look dated outside but for 3star we felt the hotel, service, food and facilities were very good. It was unpretentious. We loved the generous portions and friendly, efficient staff. In fact they were so efficient in the kitchen we had to ask for more time betwen courses! The room was modern for a three star, clean and spacious. Close to the town center which has several shopping streets... it is also 20 mins away from lovely beaches and walks esp. Pembrey country park and bay, which we highly recommend. Same about the wi. Fi charges :( overall great value and recommended to you if u have realistic expectations of 3 star accom.

This was a Christmas present from the children, An evening meal and breakfast. It was delightful, the Hotel is clean and full of character. Staff were exceptional in the attention they paid to us and nothing was too much trouble.The rooms were big and more than adequate. Shops are only a few minutes away and is situated close to most places of interest. Would definitely use if we are this way again.
